Diego Percossi Papi

After graduating in Architecture, Diego Percossi Papi became a self-taught artist, sculptor and goldsmith. He has his own style, which he defines as based on everyday life and resulting from natural evolution following artistic experiments and experiences. Born in Rome, Diego's cultural influences are Bernini and Borromini, among others. Diego affirms that “knowing our history is knowing our roots”. Rome, its history and its artistic treasures are always in his mind, particularly the Baroque heritage. “Rome is essential to me. The curl, for example, that is in the facades of some churches, comes from an Etruscan tradition. It has a fitting function, which binds the elements. The curl is in all my sketches".
